The world of darts has blown up due to one young man.
Luke Littler set the sport alight following an incredible debut campaign at the World Championships.
So how are other players reacting to all the media pressure that Luke the Nuke is under after Michael Van Gerwen became the latest in a long-list of former World Champions, to defend the 17 year old.

00:00 Two-time world darts champion Gary Anderson was quick to follow Phil Taylor's comments,
00:07 telling the media to allow Luke Littler to play. The Flying Scotsman said he's seen many young
00:13 talents throughout his career crumble on the biggest of stages due to overhype and pressure
00:18 by the media following a hat-trick of night winds in the Premier League this year. Michael Van
00:25 Gerwen has also had his say on the situation. "Whatever he does, if he puts his shoe on,
00:30 if he puts his dart in his hand, wherever he puts his finger in his nose, whatever he does,
00:35 everything, everyone speaks about him, everywhere's in the news, but let him enjoy himself."
00:40 There's no doubt of the talent that Luke Littler has and the impact he's had on the sport has been
00:47 monumental, but as games and tournaments become more pressurised on the stage,
00:52 maybe a better and fairer treatment would be to step back and allow him to enjoy the sport.
